Skin irritation: Some individuals may experience skin irritation, redness, itching, or a burning sensation at the application site.
Dryness or peeling: The use of Melamet cream can lead to dryness or peeling of the skin.

Managing the Side Effects:

To manage the side effects of Melamet cream, follow these recommendations:

Skin irritation: Apply aloe vera gel directly to the irritated skin for its soothing and hydrating properties. Use a chamomile tea compress by soaking a cloth in cooled chamomile tea and applying it to the affected area.
Dryness or peeling: Moisturise the skin with organic coconut oil to provide hydration and nourishment. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub with natural ingredients like sugar or oatmeal to remove dead skin cells and promote skin renewal.

Extended exposure to sunlight is the primary cause of Melasma. The effect of harmful UV and infrared rays on your skin leads to hyperpigmentation. Avoid staying out in the sun for long durations and always apply sunscreen during the day, even if you stay indoors.
Hormonal imbalances also lead to melasma. Take note if you are taking any birth control pills or pregnancy medications and discontinue them or choose an alternative if necessary.
Visit your doctor and get checked for any hormonal imbalances that may cause Melasma.
Incorporate vitamin C sources (like citrus fruits), leafy vegetables, and fresh fruits into your diet. Drink plenty of water and other healthy fluids to promote skin health.

Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before applying this ointment to a larger area.
Always follow the prescribed dosage of Melamet cream. Using it in less amounts might not do the work whereas its excessive use may worsen the skin condition.
Melamet cream side effects are often temporary. However, if you feel concerned about any of these effects, talk to your doctor to rule out any complications.
